Are you struggling to forgive yourself? Do you hold a grudge against someone who harmed you physically, emotionally, or mentally? Do you find it hard to forgive the adults in your life who were supposed to protect you, but didn’t? Do you hold resentment against a whole class of people because you’ve been discriminated against? I’VE BEEN THERE. I KNOW. I’m Dr. Carron Silva, Your Forgiveness Guide. As a woman of faith, I’ve spent the last 30 years seeking healing for sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, and healing from racial discrimination. What I’ve learned is that therapy could only take me so far. I believe that FORGIVENESS IS THE WAY TO INTERIOR FREEDOM, but we cannot do it alone. We need God, and in particular, Jesus, the Divine Physician, with the love of the Holy Spirit, to help us through a process of forgiveness. On this podcast, I talk about all the things that help you develop a lifelong skill of forgiveness and empower you to forgive yourself, others, and God. As a Certified Wholeness and Catholic Mindset Coach, I help you to navigate emotionally challenging situations, cultivate resilience after trauma, and in a nurturing emotionally safe, empathic, nonjudgmental, confidential coaching relationship.

In today’s episode, I discuss how Internal Family Systems Therapy is one way to uncover the parts of ourselves that carry blame and shame in our unforgiveness of self.
Forgiving ourselves is in line with the second commandment, to love our neighbor as ourselves. Loving ourselves as God loves us requires fully accepting who He created us to be. We cannot extend to others what we cannot do for ourselves.
Shame and blame are tango partners in keeping us stuck in unforgiveness of self.
When it comes to forgiving ourselves, we must be ready, willing, and able to face, love, and accept the parts of us that carry the shame attached to the memory of what transpired.
Internal Family Systems Therapy, developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, might help identify the parts of us that need to be relieved of shame and blame in the process of forgiveness. I share a personal story of a protective part of me that caused the rupture of a lifelong friendship.
I read the entry Right Judgment story in my book With You Always: A Journey with Jesus
Self-forgiveness means we allow ourselves to be fully seen and known and let go of the shame and guilt we feel about our actions.
